Pomegranate peel is a traditional Chinese medicinal material made from the dried and ground rind of the pomegranate fruit. It has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and can be used to treat heat-toxin conditions such as fever, pharyngitis, and tonsillitis. It also moistens the lungs and relieves coughing, making it effective for treating tracheal disorders caused by lung heat, including cough due to lung heat, pneumonia, and bronchitis. Additionally, pomegranate peel clears the liver and improves vision, helping to alleviate symptoms of liver and kidney yin deficiency such as insomnia, dizziness, headaches, and vision deterioration. In summary, pomegranate peel possesses various therapeutic properties, including clearing heat and detoxifying, moistening the lungs and suppressing cough, clearing the liver and improving vision, promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis, reducing inflammation and relieving pain, and exhibiting antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, making it useful in treating a wide range of diseases.
